same commentators suggest that here starr could be referring to the 1969 " paul is dead " hoax. the latter rumour circulated during september and october of that year while mccartney hid away on his scottish farm, disconsolate after john lennon had told him and starr that he wanted a " divorce " from the beatles. in addition to these supposed messages in " back off boogaloo ", observers have viewed the song title as starr's rebuke to mccartney to abandon his legal stand against the beatles and apple corps, which was placed in receivership in march 1971 after a high court judge found in mccartney's favour. author keith bad
